Well, I was at a campground once and the next door guy had a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I told my wife, get ready for a rude awakening morning with our neighbor. I was up early next morning and this guys was pushing his motorcycle away from campers just so he can start his motorcycle and not disturb his neighbors... there are still good campers out there that have consideration for others. Sad you guys had to deal with crap like that.

Common sense is a flower that doesn’t bloom in everyone’s garden.

I once heard it observed "Why is it, that the people with the loudest speakers have the poorest taste in music?"

Thing is, if your shoe puts a dent in the offending driver's car, you're on the hook for the repair. I wouldn't kick someone's property.

I was full-timing at a park where my neighbor would get up at 6 am and fire up his diesel-powered dually and let it warm up for 15 minutes while the exhaust fumes filled my bedroom. The noise didn't bother me as much as having stinky toxins pumped directly into my RV, choking me and my dog. With less than 10 feet between campers, that space where he was parking filled up with fumes in no time flat. I finally stormed out one morning and somehow managed to calm myself enough explain to him what the problem was. To his credit, he started parking in a different spot that allowed him to idle that thing without being directly beneath my windows. I was so glad to see the last of them when they got evicted a few weeks later.

we had a neighbor that allowed their dog to poop on "our" site. If we didn't pick it up right away we were the ones "in trouble" with the park, blaming our dog. 1 morning I was waiting at the window and as the dog came over, I took a picture while it was in mid poop, took it up to the office. He was asked to leave that afternoon.

I don't think the rude RVers even watch videos such as yours. Self entitled folks think the whole world revolves around their needs and they certainly don't teach their children any better.

I don't speed in campsites but I can tell you the roads in campsites can be very narrow and sometimes with full size one tons with oversized mirrors, you cant avoid getting close to people walking, that said damaging someone personal property by kicking it isn't the way to handle it. I can guarantee you'll do that to the wrong person one day.

[InfoSecGuardian]

I think you missed the silver lining! The best part of having an RV is that you can move; you don't have to put up with it night after night! Try owning a house and having neighbors like your described.

I had a guy at site kick my truck once . Funny thing was my dash cam proved I was going 11mph in a 13mph zone. He recieved a free all accommodation over night for criminal damage to property. The dent repair plus paint was over 2k

Just this weekend we were at campground and our neighbors allowed their two little yippie dogs run around off leash. One of the dogs came over to our site on pooped right right beside our picnic table. I very nicely asked the owners if they could come and pick up the poop. "Sure!" Four hours later, one of their kids finally came over and half-way picked it up so I picked up the rest. Next day, same deal, dog came over and pooped in almost the same spot. I promptly scooped it up on a piece of cardboard and walked it to their site and place it at the bottom of their stairs.

Loved it. We were trailer camping in Smoky Mtns and returned from morning walk. Next to us was another trailer with TWO Huskies, both moaning and clawing at the curtains. It last about 2 hours, then again near dark. Yep, owners come back after 9pm and started screaming at dogs for peeing and destroying furniture. Campground Mgr came and told them they had 2 hours to leave! QUIETLY, she said. 😊
Good

I'm convinced that Common Sense is a super power now. LOL

We have put firewood in the road to slow people down. The police drove through with a huge smile and waved. He knew why we did it.

I can’t believe (but sadly, really can) that all of these things aren’t no brainers! A couple years ago, my daughter arranged a group camping trip for friends and family. We ended up paying quite a bit extra for a group site because the number in our group was somewhat large, and we wanted to stay together. The site came with its own portable potties, and parking area. We spent the entire trip fighting with day campers parking in our lot, and literally tramping right through our site to get to the water, as well as using the potties designated for our site. I mean, they literally were hauling equipment, easy-ups, coolers, chairs, etc. back and forth, every day, RIGHT THROUGH our spot. It was so annoying and disappointing when we spent so much for that site. We complained, to no avail.

OMG We where camping at our favorite state park. Half way around the loop a family of (I'm not kidding we counted them) 30 people 4 couples and 22 children all under the age of 10. And they made the camp grounds their play ground . They would run though your site would come and ask for some of what you where eating. Jump into the back of my pick up, want to use our bathroom. I'm not kidding. Where are the parents. I went to the park off to complain. That lasted about 10 min kids went right back to doing what they were doing . And not just to us the whole camp grounds. When I had enough I went to their site and as nicely as I could explained that if they did not control their kids I would be back with the police and a Ambulance. Because I would beat the crap out of them for ruining my weekend with their kids. Oh and I forgot that there were 4 other campers with me to back me up. Because they where having the same done to them. NOW This all happened in one day. The next day the park had the state police remove them and banned them from coming back. When 36 camp sites report this and the parents did nothing to stop their kids. So yes I'm a bad guy for saying something to them. I'll get over it

We reserved two premium water access camp sites (following campground rules, no more that 8 people per site).There was a clearly marked trail to the water, on the outer perimeter of each site. Instead of using the trail, people were walking through our sites with canoes, kayaks and little raft boats. I finally said something (nicely the first few time). I thought about walking through there site. Instead, I went to the camp host, they in return went to all the other sites and told people to stop walking through our site. Of course the rest of the weekend, we were hated by other campers…who cares, we paid big buck for those sites and we were going to enjoy them! Love your stories and all your camping advice.

After 20 years in the Navy, I've learned to NEVER, EVER trust a stranger to do things 'the right way'. I couldn't agree more about sanitizing everything. I have been up to 30 minutes late leaving check-out (the wife and I work late/graveyard shifts and we sleep IN!!). One time, on a Tuesday, we had someone pull into the waiting area and they were staring daggers at us from 40 feet away as we were packing out - 10 minutes BEFORE check out and 70 minutes before check in! This older couple (say late 70's) were very upset that they couldn't get into their spot immediately. They had in-state tags, and their rig was from a local dealership and was over ten years old, so they likely lived within an hour of the park. So, if you get there BEFORE check in, please don't be a jerk to folks who are packing out before your turn to get into it.

I saw a RV’er draining sewer line on the grass and yes he fertilized the grass. I also had a guy to uhhh borrow my extension cord “with my name on the cord” I did get it back without having to show my colors.

[caroll]

Leave no trace! Exactly- Perhaps the campground owners cld charge them a fee or a fine post check-out w/photos?
